Arrhythmia/Electrophysiology Prevention of Ventricular Fibrillation Episodes in Brugada Syndrome by Catheter Ablation Over the Anterior Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Epicardium
Background—The underlying electrophysiological mechanism that causes an abnormal ECG pattern and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with the Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains unelucidated. However, several studies have indicated that the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is likely to be the site of electrophysiological substrate. We hypothesized that in patie...

متن کاملFirst case of epicardial ablation to coexistent J waves in the inferior leads in a patient with clinical diagnosis of Brugada syndrome
Introduction It is well established that type 1 Brugada syndrome (BrS) is associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF). Recently, Morita et al suggested in an experimental model that radiofrequency catheter ablation applied to the right ventricular (RV) epicardium might be more effective than radiofrequency ablation applied to the endocardium in order to eliminate ventricular tachycardia in pa...
متن کاملEpicardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of Brugada syndrome with electrical storm during ventricular fibrillation
RATIONALE Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by ST segment elevation at the J point ≥2 mm in the right precordial electrocardiogram (ECG) leads, in the absence of structural heart disease, electrolyte disturbances, or ischemia. It is a well-described cause of sudden death in young patients, especially in the age of between 30 and 40 years old. Here, we reported an unusual case of electrica...
متن کاملEpicardial ablation for prevention of ventricular fibrillation in a patient with Brugada syndrome.
We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with Brugada syndrome, permanent type 1 electrocardiographic pattern, who had previously received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. She suffered frequent syncopal episodes and multiple appropriate shocks (around five per month) due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation, refractory to quinidine therapy. Combined epicar...
